    Maybe it's just that today wasn't the best day, and I'm a bit under the weather. But I just feel like things are so... complicated. My feelings are easy, what to do with them.... I don't know. It's discouraging.

    Maybe a little bit of this feeling comes from missing today's meetup. I had a lot of last minute things come up...

    I don't know. Going to have a little wine I think.

    I'm trying not too go into negative thinking, I've got to stay rational. Just had a few min for some wine, now walking over to my daughter's nursery. I want to be present and patient with her tonight, not broody and distracted.

    There will be good days and bad days, like there will be bad minutes and good hours. They are moments. In those difficult times be kind to your self and they will pass.(*hug*)

    Thanks (*hug*)(*hug*) I feel like I'm starting to spiral down the rabbit hole a bit. Today's my husband's birthday. I've not done a good job at making it a good one for him, but all the effort I do make just makes my stomach sink because it makes this whole situation feel more complex. Like I made him a book of photos, and just looking at all the photos of the three of us... I'm not doing well today

    putting it that way, I wonder if wine is not a good mix for my husband's birthday :confused: Truth will not make a good birthday present tonight. But it is getting me through the night in one piece.

    Let's just say wine was used as liquid courage during my exploration period, through which I concluded in vino veritas.

    Do you want to hear something funny? So I was babbysitting my nephew and usually the morning routine was to feed him while he watches Frozen for the nth time and well today I decided to remind him who is man of the house and I forced him to watch Inside Out instead. I haven't seen it either so both of us were watching it. I regreted it because I was bawling my eyes out the whole time of the film while feeding the little guy. Its a good thing he's only 4.

    Pixar movies man they always get you (except for Cars and Cars2)

    Anyway , it wasn't really that funny but I'm just saying thats something I would talk about with you while having wine

    All of these kids' movies tear me into pieces... Up is the most heart-melting to me. I just melt into a pile of tears within 3 minutes. I loved Inside Out, btw. I cried, many times, during that movie.

    Cars totally got to me. But Cars 2 was pretty pointless, haha.
